van der Zwart, J (author), van der Voordt, Theo (author)Only when a building has been built it becomes clear if the building works as expected and if the objectives of the clients, customers, end users and other stakeholders are attained. If not, it is difficult and costly to adapt a building-in-use to fit with the needs and interests of the stakeholders. This paper explores how some of the pre-set...journal article 2015

de Groot, T.H. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author), Woudenberg, E (author)This paper proposes feature extraction methods for object classification with passive acoustic sensor networks deployed in suburban environments. We analyzed the emitted acoustic signals of three object classes: 1) guns (muzzle blast); 2) vehicles (running piston engine); and 3) pedestrians (several footsteps). Based on the conducted analysis,...journal article 2015

Closed-form solutions for the analysis of artificial dielectric layers under generic field incidenceCavallo, D. (author), Syed, W.H. (author), Neto, A. (author)We present an analytical method to model artificial dielectric layers (ADLs) of finite height. Starting from the closed-form solution for the scattering from a single layer under plane wave illumination, the formulation is extended to the multi-layer case, by including the higher-order interaction between parallel layers in analytical form. The...conference paper 2015

(author), Smadja, C. (author)DeepWind has been presented as a novel floating offshore wind turbine concept with cost reduction potentials. Twelve international partners developed a Darrieus type floating turbine with new materials and technologies for deep-sea offshore environment. This paper summarizes results of the 5 MW DeepWind conceptual design. The concept was...journal article 2015

Pluijms, Joost P. (author), Cañal-Bruland, Rouwen (author), Bergmann Tiest, Wouter M. (author), Mulder, F.A. (author), Savelsbergh, Geert J.P. (author)We examined whether expertise effects are present in cutaneous wind perception. To this end, we presented wind stimuli consisting of different wind directions and speeds in a wind simulator. The wind simulator generated wind stimuli from 16 directions and with three speeds by means of eight automotive wind fans. Participants were asked to...journal article 2015

susha, Iryna (author), Zuiderwijk-van Eijk, A.M.G. (author), Charalabidis, Yannis (author), Parycek, Peter (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)There is a lack of research concerning the factors influencing the success or failure of open data initiatives. Based on the results of two workshops, we provide a list of 47 success factors for open data publication and 18 success factors for open data use. We further use three case studies (ENGAGE, Open NY, and Open Vienna) to examine how the...journal article 2015

Stjepandic, J (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Wognum, Nel (author)CE has been used for more than two decades now. Despite many successes and advantages, there are still many challenges to be addressed. These challenges are both technical and organisational. In the paper we will address the current challenges of CE. Many challenges are related to the exchange of data and...conference paper 2015

Balkenende, R. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author)Sustainability of electronic products until recently mainly focused on improving the energy efficiency. Recently, resource efficiency has become of growing importance. Due to the use of relatively small amounts of many valuable and scarce materials, often intimately mixed, the design of electronic products deserves specific attention. From a...conference paper 2015

Hoogland, J. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), la Poutré, J.A. (author)Motivated by the energy domain, we examine a risk-averse buyer that has to purchase a fixed quantity of a continuous good. The buyer has two opportunities to buy: now or later. The buyer can spread the quantity over the two timeslots in any way, as long as the total quantity remains the same. The current price is known, but the future price...conference paper 2015

Luo, P. (author), Rodrigo, C (author), Gaspar, F. J. (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author)In this study, a nonlinear multigrid method is applied for solving the system of incompressible poroelasticity equations considering nonlinear hydraulic conductivity. For the unsteady problem, an additional artificial term is utilized to stabilize the solutions when the equations are discretized on collocated grids. We employ two nonlinear...journal article 2015

(author)Background: The number of older adults with dementia is expected to increase. Dementia is not only characterized by a decline in cognition, also other functions, for example, physical functioning change. A possible means to decrease the decline in these functions, or even improve them, could be increasing the amount of physical activity. A...journal article 2015

Santos, C. (author), Espinoza, F. (author), Santiso, E. (author), Mazo, M. (author)One of the main challenges in wireless cyber-physical systems is to reduce the load of the communication channel while preserving the control performance. In this way, communication resources are liberated for other applications sharing the channel bandwidth. The main contribution of this work is the design of a remote control solution based on...journal article 2015
